Hi everyone sorry i haven't been on line we are having a well deserved break. we left home for Northern central QLD on 23rd july went to lightning ridge , didn't strike it rich , BUMMER.

on 28th we went to walleroo and roma at Roma went shopping and at the supermarket there is a really high side step and muggins (me ) misjudged the hight and fell ,on my crook side of all sides ,Bruised my right shoulder , bruised my ribs and cancer  boob, split my right eyebrow open  a beauty blood everywhere and ended up with a black eye, , i laugh a bout it now but wasnt funny at the time and not one person came to help or ask if i was okay,

i'm still very sore and my eye is getting blacker and bluer, don't need eyeliner, get plenty of good looks from people 

poor Daryl was so upset,

 then went to Canarvon gorge 29th july  where i celebrated my 59th birthday and my 5 years no cancer visible.

an amazing place, we didnt do all the walks as Daryl is still recovering and i was in a bit of pain but we did four fairly strenuous walks,very expensive though $42 a night phew.

we are now in a town called Sapphire and have been looking for Sapphires no luck but sightseeing is good and i am glad for the rest.

we are staying in the Sapphire caravan park retreat and it is sooooo beautiful,and reasonable priced too.  $27-00 beautiful bush setting and the whole set up is amazing. 

we will probably head towards the coast from here. keep you posted 

 

Daryl has banned me from Supermarkets ha ha ha . hope everyone is okay . xxxxxxx

    Hi Fran, You are in my territory.  When I read that you were in Sapphire and heading to the coast, I thought I might get to catch up with you but you we going north not east.  My nearest coast is Yeppoon - Sapphire is west of Yeppoon and you went North.  I was in Townsville a couple of weekends ago.  It is looking good at the moment so Magnetic Island will be magnificant.  Enjoy the sun - most of my southerner friends have recently struck loads of rain.  It has been our wettest July ever.  Happy travelling.
